About eZ newsletter

Collaborative Content Mangement
Often many people are involved with producing content for a newsletter, including writers and editors from various fields and departments. This can cause difficulties in coordination, consistency, accuracy and timeliness. The eZ newsletter integrated workflow and permission management tools provide the framework for optimizing the creation and approval of newsletter content. Multiple authors and editors can be involved in the newsletter generation process, each with clearly defined roles and responsibilities. Newsletters can be created with the degree of automation that suits your organization, from fully automatic content generation to carefully managed editorial oversight.

Flexible Subscription Services
Using the eZ publish newsletter system, a list of recipients can be compiled within a campaign-related mailing list. For example, users might subscribe to newsletters regarding different areas of interest via a double-opt-in approach on the company web site. In addition to the manual subscription of users via a website, recipient addresses can be imported from third-party systems. This functionality is especially useful when accessing purchased address databases, addresses of business partners or data from CRM systems.

Multiple Formats
In addition to the distribution of newsletters via email, the eZ publish newsletter system supports devices like mobile phones, PDAs and fax. Additional shopping functionality, especially beneficial in the consumer sector because it allows for direct orders without time-consuming detours, can easily be integrated with the eZ publish e-commerce functionality.

Pricing
The eZ publish newsletter system provides a total solution, including the software as well as the service package, for a reasonable price that can be used to calculate the real cost of investment. The service package supports the entire newsletter life-cycle, from planning through to implementation, installation, training and system maintenance. Contactivity can help you deploy the system in a cost-saving way without investing in in-house infrastructure.
